Hello and welcome to AspieMom.com. I am the proud mother of a ten year old daughter who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2006. I love to talk to others who have Aspie children. I feel it is important to learn all we can not only so we can cope as parents but so we can help the kids cope as well.
Birthday girl
Written by Jill on August 3, 2008 – 7:41 am -Yesterday was Kiddo’s birthday. She turned 11 years old. It was a challenging day in some ways.
You see, Kiddo has a new game obsession… Endless Ocean for Wii. It is a good game for her because it is relaxing and 100% non-violent. And she learns a lot about ocean wildlife. But it has triggered the “little professor” in her. The game is all she can talk about and she goes on and on and on about the different animals she sees in the game. It is very hard to get her off the topic.
Another thing that happened… which is more of a frustration… She had invited her friend across the street to come over but he didn’t come. He wasn’t home until hours later. She said that he told her he could come and she was so upset about it. But I have to wonder if he ever even asked his parents. He’s a bit younger than Kiddo. I think there was some miscommunication there somewhere. My husband said he was able to come so I just assumed that everything was good but I guess not. I suppose I should have just made an invitation but I didn’t really think to do that since this wasn’t really a party. It was just a ,”Hey, wanna come over?” kind of thing.
We are gearing up to start another year of homeschooling. I’m not sure how it will go this year though since I am working days now. Will make things hard for me. Will have to catch up on the homeschooling on the weekends and I hate to do that. Guess we’ll see.
There have been times when I really want to get Kiddo back into regular school. She needs more interaction with other kids and it would sure make my life easier now that I work full time during the day but then again… there are so many social issues at school that Kiddo just can’t handle and I really hate to throw her back into that. I don’t know. We will see I guess.
